It's position 1rst, on tho question OF pro-

OF what ought to DO the attitude OF the
Republican party IN Went Virginia
towards that question.
Ihe lSTkLLlaEscEs docs not regard pro-

Trying to Huln Good Editors.

The New York Herald has taken it int
it's head that the next Vice President 0
tho United States must be q journalist
This suggestion is taken up by many news
papers, nearly ell Of them very properl,
taking issue with the Herald. Thi
speaks well for the conductors Of th,
American press. Il, shows a higher up
probation Of their profession and its op
%portunities for the highest kind OF useful
neas than their predecessors Of half a con,
tury ago would have displayed.
The Charleston Nevs and Courier ssys
very pertincntly: ut is the part Of the
newspaper man to give frankly his honest
convictions OF men and thiuga in their
public relations. The business of the pol.
itician ia to win supporters and make
friends" The Louisville Courier Journal
also puts it we'll: 1T is better to be q
good editor than an indifferent politician,
and unless q maa goes iato politics for
good and all, and to make Il career of 1t,
no had beat stsy out Of il, for politics is as
much OF a busineas as journalism"
There 10 no better way 10 ruin q good
journalist than to thrust him into the
scramble Tor Office. II doesn't matter so
much about the'interios ones, if the PEG.
pic prefer to have their Offices filled by
that kind Of material. 1. is rare in this
day that q man fit to have tho editorahip
Of a newspaper will consent to pnralyze
his pen by counting the popular favor in
the hops that it will bring him office.
The Herald will do journalism and the
country a greatsr Gorviee by encouraging
American Journalists to stick to their
newspapers, taking 50 much interest in
politics as good c~ltlzsns 'snd good journal
lists should take, letting it bs understood
that they IRE not stretching Tor tho public
meal trough. Tho olice.secking tditor
always loHea something Of tbs public con-
hdencs; and in this We arc inclined to
think tho public is right.

Walt Whitman has had visitor. He was surprised the other day by a call from John Newton Johnston, a planter from Marshall county, Ala, who had travelled more than 700 miles in order to have a conversation with the gray poet" He proved to be a great admirer of that bestial literary performance "Leaves of Grass" and he knows more about Whitman's poetry than any man living. 1t is hardly necessary to say that the poet found his queer visitor "a natural philosopher" "diamond in the rough" and a man ''of great natural ability" just as we have always con- tended that the young lady who ad- mired our editorials was the most beautiful of her sex.-Memphis Sun- day Times.

 A correspondent, who has been reading the anecdotes about senators in our last number, was an eye-wit- ness of the following occurrence:
 At New York City, in the fall of 196-, case was tried before Judge Sutherland, in which the law firm of Evarts, Southmayd & Choate appeared for the defense. MT. Evarts made the concluding argument, and the fame of the great counsellor secured for him considerable audience of lawyers from neighboring courts, in addition to many persons who had more or less interest in the proceedings.
 MT. Evarts had been speaking for some hours. and was evidently near ing his peroration. He began to sum up his arguments, and asked impress ivcly what answer could be made to them. Again he placed the points in lucid array, and again asked a similar question. Then third time he re- stated his case with vivid eloquence, and once more. in louder tones. wound up with:
 "What is their answer?"
 He paused. You could have heard a pin drop. Suddenly the door of the court room opened, and a peddler, sticking his head and feather duster into the opening, cried out:
 "Broomsw w
 In moment the room was ringing with uncomfortable laughter. in which everybody joiDed-even the judge on the bench and the orator himself. Mir. Evarts, however, kept on his feet, and was the first to re- cover his composure. With his hand raised to command attention, as the roar subsided he said solemnly:
 "That was not, indeed, the reply which l expected, but you may rest assured that when you do get their answer you will find it equally frivol- ous and inconsistent.
